About the clinic
Tongue cancer treatment at Amethyst Radiotherapy in Vienna, Austria, centers on advanced radiation techniques designed to protect speech and swallowing functions. An in-person consultation with an oncologist typically runs $90, while a remote second opinion via online consultation is around $220. The facility is recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Hospitals 2026, offering specialized care for head and neck tumors.
Precision diagnostics and planning
Before therapy begins, the medical team develops an individualized plan using high-resolution imaging. This helps doctors see the exact size and location of the tumor in the mouth. The process involves several steps to prepare for radiation:
- Consultation with an oncologist. Patients meet with specialists to discuss the diagnosis and review previous biopsy results.
- Online consultation with oncologist. International patients can receive a remote evaluation before traveling to Vienna.
- Integrated imaging. The center uses MRI, CT, and ConeBeam CT to create a map for the radiation beams.
- Multidisciplinary tumor board. A team of experts reviews each case to select the most effective treatment approach.
Advanced radiotherapy methods
The center uses the Elekta Versa HD linear accelerator. This equipment delivers radiation with extreme accuracy. It targets the cancer in the tongue while sparing healthy surrounding tissues like the jawbone and salivary glands. Treatment is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to stay in nearby hotels or at home between sessions.
- VMAT and IMRT. These techniques adjust the radiation intensity to match the tumor's shape.
- IGRT (image-guided radiation therapy). Real-time imaging tracks the tumor during the session to account for any slight movements.
- Stereotactic radiosurgery. High doses of radiation are delivered to small, specific areas with surgical precision.
- Individualized targeting. The technology helps maintain the patient's quality of life by reducing side effects in the mouth and throat.

Amethyst Radiotherapy is located inside Wiener Privatklinik, near the Vienna University Hospital.

Excellent medical service and very friendly staff!
I was treated at Amethyst Vienna in May 2023. It was very worrying to learn I had an acoustic neuroma. Although the tumor was pressing on my trigeminal nerve and the pain was severe, an 11-hour operation was out of the question for me.
Fortunately, I found Dr. Kuczer online, and
after five sessions of stereotactic radiotherapy, I am pain-free again.
The radiotherapy had virtually no side effects.
Many thanks to the professional team and the excellent treatment.

My wife was treated for cancer at the Vienna General Hospital (AKH) and given up on. Then we learned about radiation therapy and contacted the clinic. She was given hope that the radiation therapy would help, but she had to pay a large sum for the treatment. She underwent radiation therapy many times and was also hospitalized. But a few weeks later, she died.
